The Record

STOCKTON - San Joaquin County sheriff's deputies used a stun gun to subdue a man who was arrested after deputies found him in possession of a gun and drugs Wednesday in west Stockton, authorities said.

A citizen flagged down deputies about 3:15 p.m. to report that a man on a bicycle was swerving in front of a vehicle and initially tried to stop the vehicle near Country Club Boulevard and Clipper Lane. Deputies located Urbano Rosales Jr., 28, who rode away on his bicycle after being told to stop several times, authorities said.

Deputies then pursued Rosales on foot. When Rosales reached toward his waistband, deputies used a stun gun, knocking Rosales to the ground, they said. Rosales was taken into custody without further incident, the Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies searched Rosales and found a loaded, five-shot .38 Special handgun, 22 additional rounds of ammunition, 0.7 gram of suspected methamphetamine and a glass pipe, authorities said. Rosales was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm with no serial number, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a loaded firearm, possession of methamphetamines, resisting arrest and other crimes, authorities said.
